VIDA CROLY,s POCKETBOOK.
A Young Actresses Christmas savings Re-
stored by n Policeman.

Little Miss Vida Croly. the daughter of
Mrs. Jennie June Croly, has for the past few
weeks been diligently saving her pin money
for Christmas. She had amassed the formid-
able sum of go, which she carried about
with her in her pocketbook, after the manner
of her kind. Miss Croly plays n diminutiye
part at the Lyceum Theatre, and on reaching
hat house on Wednesday, she discovered to
her horror that her pocketbook was gone.
Miss Croly is very young to the profession,
as she might have known that lost pocket,
books are occasionally extremely useful to
actresses. and next to lost diamonds are most
desired for advertising purposes.
Miss CrQlyE was wild with vexation. She
had told every member of the company
strictly in confidence and after begging each
not to tell the other-of the enormous sum
she had saved.
Miss Croly's loss was the only thing talked
about. Last night while the members of the
company were in the green-room between the
acts of The Wife" Manager Frohnan en-.
tered with a policeman, whose the Joyful
intelligence went-had found the pocketbook
with it's little hoard.
How did you know ii was mine ?" asked
Miss Croly, ecstatically, looking as though
she would like to testify her gratitude to the
policeman by fervently embracing him:
The guardian of the peace opened the
pocket,b % and pulled out a card on which
was written THE Wife. Call for changes
in Act l. at II A. NJ. Thursday"
You see, miss he said, chuckling with
satisfaction Mt his own acumen, Pm some
thin of II theatrical fellow myself, or may be
/ wouldn't have understood them words. l
might-he! h e!-have thought the card be;
longed to some young blood a-goin' to call
on Somebody's wife" Glere he was convulsed
with laughter at his own witt or that the
money had been saved by some one who was
going to buy n Christmas present for his
own"
Thanks, so much" exclaimed Miss Croly.
lyon see, miss he was still pleased with
himself I've been an actor myself was
once on the stage for the Grand Army of the
Republic, so l thought that you folks here
might know somethin' about the card, as
you're playin' 1.-THE Wife,"
When the next act opened little Miss Croly
was the merriest of the merry and her small
part was played asashe. had never played it
before.

FIERCE. GALES AT SEA.
Incoming Vessels Buffeted aud Delayed by
Christmas Weather.


All the incoming steamers which arrived
this morning report the prevalence Of very
severe weather on the Atlantic. The Guion
steamer Wisconsin. which left Liverpool Dec.
10, arrived only this morning. She was more
than forty eight hours behind. People hav-
ing friends aboard became apprehensive lest
some mishap had occurred to her.
Capt. Bentley reports that during all of the
voyage he met with most boisterous weather.
From the very start it was nothing but u
series of strong westerly gales, with very
high head seas.
On Tuesday, Dec. 10, o very strong gale
was encountered, with high and confused
sens, at times sweeping the steamer from
stem to stern. Again on Friday q very strong
consin could steam only n little more than
one hundred and sixty miles. She sustained
no injuries.
Her steerage passengers felt greatly re-
lieved this morning when they were safe on
shore, for during the twelve days of the
stormy voyage they were the greater part of
the time obliged to remain in the Storage.
which arrived this morning, reported. a
very boisterous passage. She left London
twenty days ago, since which time she has
had a very hard time with the wind and
waves. She came through the heavy batter
ing without sustaining any serious damages.
The schooner Phoebe, which arrived this
morning from Mayaguez, went through a
heavy gale north of Hatteras on Dec. II,
which continued for more than forty-eight
hours. The heavy seas stove her boats and
smashed in the BOBBY hatch.
The ship Adoina was for eleven days beat
ing north of Hatteras with strong northwest
gales.

TRUST TRICKS.

When q "trust" devil-fsh proceeds to
"depress prices" of the commodity which
it seeks to control, it has one of two objects
in view. II means either to crush all con-
Germs that will not join the Trust, or to get
its crude material cheaper, in order to in
crease its subsequent profits.
The Sugar Trust probably has both these
ends in view. 1t means to perfect its monop-
oily by killing all competition. and then to
dictate lower prices to the sugar-growers for
the raw article and higher prices to con-
sumers for refined sugar.
When the Legislatures assemble let the
people deal a finishing blow to the Trusts.

House swIndIers.
Williams, O'Brien and Roberts, the three
men under arrest for the forgery of pueblo
store orders and the theft Of valuable goods
from the Appraisers Department of the New
York Custom-Hou Gus passed a dismal night
in the cells in the basement of Police Head
quarters.
They awoke early this morning and ate a
hearty breakfast of steak, eggs, fried pota-
toes, coffee and warm rolls, and were left in
their chilling loneliness to await Justice
Duffy's pleasure at $50 p. M.
Thus far the detectives nave failed to Sc
cure any tangible evidence to fasten guilt
upon Handy Andy" Roberts, although
they are fully convinced that the professional
forger is the head and front of the conspir-
acy. O'Brien, who could furnish the evil
dence to secure the conviction of Roberts,
positively refused to talk and is willing to
bear his share of imprisonment rather than
=" squeal :" upon a partner in distress.
Collector Magone during q long conference
with Inspector Byrnes said The ends of
justice demand that the thieves shall be
brought to grief but it is equally important
innocent clerks in the Government employ
should be lifted. If there is a guilty part
ner in the Appraisers department he should
be apprehended at once, so that others who
are g~uiltless shall no longer be under suspi-
cion. l cannot praise too highly your SPLEEN

His attention was called by the reporter to

which stated that both Kilrain and Smith
had agreed that their recent battle should
stand a draw.
"Yes, Pm surprised at that" said Mr.. Fox.
Its against my orders, but I suppose it

HERE'S A QUEER STATE OF THINGS
knights OF Labor Give Employment TO
Cut-Rate Government Band.

In its report on the military and naval
bands o special committee of the Musical
Mutual Protective Union gives some very
funny and interesting facts regarding the
I" outside " engagements made by the bands
stationed at the West Point Military Acad-
envy. the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Fort Hamil-
ton, David's Island and the Naval Academy
at Annapolis.
The Musical Union is taking steps TO
abolish this interference with its members
Legitimate business by the soldier and sailor
musicians who receive pay from the Govern
ment and fulfil outside engagements at rates
far below those which the citizen musician
requires in order to obtain a decent liveli-
hood.
In u list of the engagements of these Gov
eminent bands last summer it appears that
the local assembly of the Knights of Labor
formed by the Hamilton avenue street-car
men employed the band of the Fifth Artil-
$50 for music furnished Mt a parade and pic
mic. The rate of a band of the same number
Of civil musicians for the same music would
have been 500.
ment like that as rather inconsistent ON the
part of II labor organization which is attached
to the great order of the Knights of Labor.
Numerous other instances are mentioned
IN tne committee report Mnere the military
and naval bands furnished music last summer
at one-third or one-half less than the rates of
civic bands. Three men of the United States
steamer New Hampshire, at Newport, were
engaged to play at the Gladstone Hotel at
Narragansett Pier for $40 for an evening.
The report also tells how army and navy
musicians are engaged. Leaders of such
bands rank as sergeants in the army, and two
of them are known to be members of the
Musical Union of this city.
Members of a Government band are en-
listed rs private soldiers with the under
standing that they will be enabled to add to
their regular pay by performing at resorts
and balls, picnics, parades and parties. The
adjutant of q regiment outranks q military
band leader when it comes to q question Of
the style of music to be played, and that
autocratic individual often assumes his
superior authority and lays out the pro-
gramme for his subordinates of the regi-
mental band. Ten per cent. of the outside
earnings of a military band goes into o regi-
mental fund.
The committee inds that the United States
Army regulations forbid the enlisted bands
performing outside of Government reserva-
tons, the same as army %tailors. bakers, shoe
makers and other tradesmen are forbidden
from plying their vocations outside of the
corps that they are attached to. Army sur
geons are not allowed to practise among
civilians except in cases of emergency.
The Marine Band at Washington controls
nearly all the outside engagements for music
in that city, and it is under the patronage of
the Government.

Your Christmas Charity.
Jack O'Conner is bright little fellow who
appears at Police Headquarters regularly
every afternoon and dispenses the news to
the officials there through the medium of the
newspapers. He is a newsboy, but that does
not prevent his teeth from chattering when
the thermometer is flirting with zero, and
even though he did win a big book as a prize
for his exalted scholarship at st. Patrick's
School, in Mulberry street, yesterday, the
warmth of success did not prevent nasty
little shivers from creeping up his back.
This morning Jack wandered about head
quarters looking very cold. He unexpectedly
ran up against Inspector Steers, who said
why, Jack, where is your overcoat ?"
Amt got none, sir" was the reply.
" But you are cold, aren't you"

spector to Sergt. Harley, Just write an

who went to a Broadway clothier's with it as
fast as his little legs could carry him. Soon
